(LSE:LGEN)

Rating:55Neutral
Price Target:
263.00p
â–²(2.37%Upside)
The overall stock score reflects significant financial performance challenges, including declining profitability and liquidity issues. While technical indicators show bullish momentum, the high P/E ratio indicates potential overvaluation concerns. The share buyback program is a positive note, highlighting efforts to enhance shareholder value.
Positive Factors
Financial Performance
The transaction will increase group solvency by 22pp post completion, indicating a stronger financial position for L&G.
Revenue Growth
L&G expect flows from its Workplace DC and annuity businesses to deliver more than half of the new revenues, more than offsetting the structural decline of UK DB.
Shareholder Value
L&G will deliver an additional share buyback of £1bn, returning significant value to shareholders.
Negative Factors
Conflicts of Interest
Investors should be aware that the firm may have a conflict of interest that could affect the objectivity of this report.
Investment Variances
Investment variances below the line were likely significantly higher than expected - primarily a function of higher interest rates on the annuity portfolio.
Market Expectations
A lack of upgraded targets may be seen as disappointing by the shares, at least initially.

Income Statement
45
Neutral
Legal & General has seen significant revenue fluctuations, with a decline from 2020 to 2024, indicating instability in revenue streams. The net profit margin has been low and declining, with a sharp decrease in net income from 2023 to 2024.
